Abstract

The eight provenances of northern red oak (Q. rubra L.) were introduced from Canada and USA to select suitable seed sources for Korean environment in 1988. The seeds were sown on the nursery of the Korea Forest Research Institute at Suwon in 1989. The growth of seedlings at nursery measured at October. In 1990, 1 -0 seedlings were transplanted in Omokchun-Dong, Suwon at a spacing of 1.8 m ´ 1.8 m as a completely randomized block design with three replications. After the planting, the growth performance was investigated at the years of 1-5 and 14 in every October. The germination rate of provenances at nursery was ranged from 52% to 84% (mean 73%). The survival rate of 1 and 14 year after the planting was ranged from 84% to 95% (mean 91%) and from 16.0% to 66.7% (mean 49.6%), respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for growth performance showed significant difference among provenances at all ages. Average growth of height, DBH, and volume at the age of 14 were 9.1 m, 9.9 cm, and 0.046 $m^3$, respectively. Missouri, U.S.A was the best provenance which showed 10.6 m in height, 12.0 cm in DBH, and 0.077 m3 in volume. Simcoe, Canada showed the worst provenance of 7.8 m, 8.5 cm, and 0.028 $m^3$, respectively. Genetic differences for height growth among provenances might be revealed after the age of 3. The longitude of seed origin was positvely correlated with volume growth and DBH at the age of 14 and negatively correlated with height at the age of 1 and 2. But latitude and altitude showed no significant difference with all characters. Stem straightness of Q. rubra was better than that of native species, Q. acutissima in Korea. In conclusion, Carleton and Missouri provenances could be considered as the best candidates for planting in the mid-west region of Korea because of the good growth performance and stem straightness.
